Halo 3 All Nighter FTW

The task at hand was simple in theory - complete legendary from start to finish in one sitting.  Digilearner rounded us up a team of members from 360friendspot which included him, myself, Johndg, and Tommy Da Gip.  Unfortunately Tommy had other obligations and couldn’t be our fourth gunner.  Just when we thought we were going to be a 3 man show ReaperHybrid joined the party making us complete.  Reaper all ready finished the story, and I am close to the end myself - but both on lower difficulty levels.  John and Digi had only played the first chapter in the story thus far.

We figured while we were at it we might as well collect those pesky glowing skulls along the way - and for the most part we did great at it.  Unfortunately as the night went on you could see that fatigue was starting to set it, we all were discussing the next skull that had to be collected after finishing off a scarab - but after finishing him we just kept going completely forgetting the skull. 

Reaper and myself finally got to the point that we needed to get some sleep - before we had to face the attack of our wives in the morning, but we said we would go at the end of the current chapter (6 for those of you keeping track).  Of course, because we had planned to leave at the end of this chapter, for the first time we actually started having difficulty surviving, it seems like we all just kept getting destroyed over and over, and we were never going to finish.  I blame the fatigue, keep in mind this was the 3rd night in a row that I was up till 3-4AM playing and the kids are always up at 8am at the latest.

Finally we finished up the chapter, but unfortunately not the fight - hopefully we can get the team together again later tonight and finish it up - legendary style.

 PS. Sorry you missed it tommy!

Gamerscoreblog DC Event - Audio

The guys over at gamerscoreblog have released the ‘lunchtime conversation’ from the DC meetup that I attended, head on over and check it out.  It was mostly recorded (from what I saw) down in the bar after we got the boot from the room for being too loud.  The event was so much fun, getting there and back home was less fun but still worth it!
